Grower: Ed Soentoen

Two factors seem to influence the members. First, the intense color of this unknown hybrid and second, the plant arrangement. This tall, cane Dendrobium had its canes carefully tied to a center stake with the flowers forming a natural artistic arrangement.

Grower: Carol Wood

Carol purchased this plant from Featherstone Orchids as a hybrid of Epi cochleatum x Epi lancifolium. These parents have long been known as Encyclia, and more recently as Prosthectea. Since the original naming of the hybrid, the hybridizer has restated that lancifolium used was really trulla, and that is reflected in the RHS registry. But was it, or was that simply an attempt to maintain the hybrid name – because if the parent was really lancifolium, that is synonymous to cochleata. Regardless of the naming confusion, the judges found it deserving of the first place ribbon.

Grower: Carol Wood

A well bloomed example of this grex named after our own Susan Fender by Carter and Holmes in 1992. The clone ‘Cinnamon Stick’ received its AOS award in 1994 when exhibited by the Fenders at a monthly judging in Tampa. Fenders Flora always has this clone available.

Grower: Bill Timm
